Having so a range of photographers would suggest that the works range in aesthetics .From documentary to the cinematic.To landscape to portraits.Though each image is an individual ,they come together harmonously to create this publication.Perhaps this is due to the rawness of the image created by the themes and anolouge cameras.
Below are several images from photographers that expressing life not being perfect but making it relaetble within the subgenre of family .
The most magic thing about photography is that it is not perfect allowing itself to have some humanity, showing that it is not a machine but a tool to record the human experiance.It is comforting knowing that photography has its imperfections and that we are the ones that place unrealistic standards on the image/society,and not allowing it to simply exist.Its imperfections show us that its real.
